Just like a 'Choose Your Own Adventure.' book the 'Foreign Fan Messages Cards' project rolls onward in a haze of foul-smelling swamps, animated skeletons and creased paper.
Okay, so maybe it's not quite that thrilling, but after the success of the first joint project between myself and forum superstar Lilsusie and the following success of my own Jaedong Card it's that time again.
However, this card is different. I'm giving posters here the chance to decide for themselves who gets to reap the rewards of their foreign fan base in terms of a card decorated with hundreds of messages from their supporters overseas. Who you will hopefully be seeing holding it aloft after the project is concluded and whose message back will have to attempt to top the cuteness of Jaedong's response.
I narrowed down the possibilities to a short list of beloved players and those for whom the last few months have been a bit of a roller coaster. So if you care about them, about the Korean proscene and about joining in with a bit of creative and interactive fun then please cast your vote and eventually we can turn this OP into a message thread. Which will, in turn become the reality of a card and put a smile onto another Korean progamer's face.
Please take into account as many or as few factors as you like when making your decision; including, but not limited to;
~ Admiration of playing style/conduct/personality. ~ Recent events and past achievements. ~ Level of general gosu-ness. ~ Physical attractiveness. ~ Sorry DoctorHelvetica Go.Go isn't an option.
So please vote on this poll and make your preferences known. The 'winning' gamer will be announced on the 14th of February. All votes added after that point will be discarded and will not count towards the final decision.
Poll: The Next Foreign Fans Message Card Goes To? (Vote): Savior. (Vote): Bisu. (Vote): Flash. (Vote): Boxer. (Vote): Nada.
Casually Observed Rules:
1) Every time you flame Lomo cries. (Let's keep things on topic!) 2) The poll list is final. No changes will be made to it during this time. 3) NeverGG commits to producing the card, including all messages and a Fan Map and presenting the finalized project to the chosen gamer at the most appropriate time. Photos plus a message back will be provided. 4) No Kwanrolling.
Thank you in advance for all your support and please join in to make this a successful project!
Thanks for doing this again NeverGG! Voted Flash, both because I really like him as a player, and because of the MSL finals. I wonder how the vote would have gone if the power hadn't gone out in set 3, though...
I'm not a Flash fan, but I voted for him because I felt really sorry for what happened to him at the MSL finals. Hope Flash will make it to more starleague finals in the future.
Voted for Boxer but should of voted for Flash or Bisu really.
It's nice of you to do this though. Anyone else not expect Jaedong to sound anything like that speaking English? I thought he'd sound alot deeper. Lovely of him to do it though! It's nice for them to know they have alot of foreign fans.
EDIT: Yeah I really should of voted Flash because he's easily my favourite player! Ah well Boxer needs some love too!
But if this ends up being a Flash card I would seriously suggest the statement people give to have it not mention or relate to the MSL finals because that's just stupid as hell.

Yes, if Flash is to win the poll all messages will be vetted and no MSL related ones will be accepted. I am respecting his wishes not to discuss the matter again.

Maybe you should start new poll and mention this, most people are choosing Flash because MSL incident

Well they can choose to show their support for him by leaving messages. We do not need to discuss the msl finals in them to show that as foreign fans we are watching his games and cheering for him.

This ofcourse is up to NeverGG. But. While many people choose Flash because of the MSL incident, I believe that the general intention is to cheer him on with a few kind words to help him put it behind himself. The majority of the Flash voters probably weren't intending on mentioning MSL to begin with.

I don't know about others but I'm choosing Flash because he's awesome
Nada or Boxer imo., Flash still has a long career and we have time to send him a card for a long time, but both Nada and Boxer might not be progamers for many years.
While many people will probably disagree with me, I voted for Bisu.
Bonjwas get a lot of attention as it is and Flash has been doing very good lately. Bisu, on the other hand, has been doing quite poorly. I think he needs some words of encouragement. Besides, it would be only fitting, considering it is Bisu Girl leading this project. XD
Boxer loosing a poll? This is madness!!! All in all, I think Flash just won the OSL, he probably doesn't need the support. Also, guys like Boxer, Savior, and Nada does need the support, but you guys probably knew that their time of glory is past and gone, so who's left, well Bisu. For me, the vote goes to Bisu, because he has the potential to reach the peak of his game again, and he's probably the guy that needs motivation and also have the skill along to achieve something, so my vote goes to Bisu
It's probably most appropriate for Bisu to win this poll, some foreign fan cheering might lift his spirit and help him start doing well across the board again. Sadly, I don't see that happening with the amount of Flash fanboys present

I'd rather send him a card in this year at September when he offically turns 30 (not in korean age).

This. Though i'm not sure if FBH will ever be on one of these. Wasn't NeverGG's mom hitting on him or something? I seem to remember her talking about it during the downtime in the MSL final.

Did you not read a word of the OP - he is on the post to show an example of what this project has done before. He was the second gamer for whom a card like this was arranged. Please read the OP next time.

Yes, can't give her any more excuses to stalk him. Basically he doesn't fit the qualifications for this type of project because to keep it as epic and interactive as possible I've decided to only do them for the big name players/legendary veterans. I am happy to facilitate smaller projects like the cheerfuls board/messages for Violet and other lesser known players. Also we have 100 Messages still on the go for team stuff so all in all every player will get something out of the foreign scene projects.

I don't think anyone's going to catch up to him.
